Up to the recess $150,000,000 of South,

HALL MUSSER has been confirmed as

the wishes of nine-tenths of the Republi

AT the meeting of the Republican
County Committee, on last Tuesday, Mil

prevailed.
MRS. TILTON, in a letter to a friend,
under date of the 13th inst., and which
she requested to be published, makes a
full and frank confession to having com
mitted adultery with the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. Mr. Beecher is out in a letter
denying the assertions of Elizabeth as un
true. There is a fair prospect of the
Brooklyn scandal being brought to the
surface again with all its nasty details.
Tag pusillanimous politicians of New
York have at last got rid of poor Old Boss
Tweed. They are really responsible for
his death. Many of them, unquestionably,
were accessories before and after the fact
to his robberies. Not only this but they
made little or no effort to punish his ac
complices and made him the "scape goat"
for all the iniquity of the Ring. We have
always held that if a great city, like New
York, would permit herself to be robbed
as she allowed Tweed and his gang to rob
her, that the people deserved all they got,
and they should have voted the robbers a
medal. Tweed was punished a thousand
times more than Jeff. Davis who tried to
steal half the country. But, the Boss is
no more and many of his cowardly assail-
ants will now breathe easier.
THE New York Tribune was thirty•seven
years of age on the 10th instant and this
is what it has to say about its business
prospects :
"The new building of the Tribune is now
a source of handsome profit. It affords
ample accommodation for all the depart.
ments of the paper rent free, pays in full
all interest on our debt, and leaves us a
cash balance of about 816,000 a year from
rents. The newspaper itself pays in these
times, moderately,—the net profit last year
being between $39,000 and $40,000. We
believe that we retain our full share of what
business there is, and have no fears as to
the profits, whenever the long looked-for
business revival comes. The average cir
culation of the DAILY is larger than in Mr.
Greeley's time ; that of the SEMI-WEEK
LY nearly the same, and that of the WEEK
LY less, though still large.
This is certainly a very handsome show
ing for these times. Success to the old
Tribune.
One of the most liberal advertising offers we
have any recollection of came to us this week
from a Messrs. Dnrborrow & Co., Philadelphia.
They want to advertise to the extent of $2BO
(our rates), and actually have the face to offer
us ten dollars for the entire job I We consider
it an insult to the profession. The Asbury
Park Journal has but one scale of rates, and
that is published in every issue. With the
exception of the usual commission to adver
tising agents, we make no deviation whatever.
—Asbury Park Journal.
A heavy advertiser from the West pro-
posed to the advertising agency of Durbor
row & Co., 705 Sansom street, Philadel
phia, to pay ten dollars to each paper, for
the insertion of a certain amount of stereo
typed matter,in the papers of New Jersey,
for a given length of time. He was un
willing to pay any more and urged that
the "ad" was placed throughout the west
and part of the Mid lle States at these fig
arcs. We felt that the price was very low,
but to Alttisfy him that we wished to accom
modate him, we sent out a circular offering
the amount stated, leaving it optional with
the paper to accept or refuse.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEE.
What was, all things considered, the
most important Republican caucus held in
Washington - this winter, came together at
the call of the Congressional Committee.
The caucus was a joint one of both houses,
and was attended by 118 Representatives
and 23 Senators.
Mr. Hale, the Chairman of the Congres
sional Committee of the last Congress, call
ed the meeting to order, and, on motion
of Senator Anthony, was continued as pre
siding officer. Mr. Conger was elected
Secretary without opposition.
On taking the chair, Mr. Hale stated
that the object of the meeting was the elec.
don of a new Congressional committee to
act on behalf of the Republican party, and
for the consideration of such other matters
as might be deemed of interest to the party
and its organization.
Immediately upon this announcement
Gen. Garfield moved that each State nom
inate a member to represent it. upon the
committee, and the motion being adopted
without debate, the several delegations rep-

TILE Union Pacific Railroad people were
badly defeated in the United States Senate
the other day. This is a good omen. It
looks as if this corporation was to be made
subject to the Government hereafter. For
some time it has been conducted as if it
was responsible to no one but the autocrats
who control it.
Thursday, the 7th of March, opened with a
bright sunshine morning, and at half past ten
the Steamship "Illinois" let go her lines and
steamed down the Delaware, bound to Liver
pool, via. Queenstown. A gay and happy
crowd assembled to bid us bon voyage and a
stranger to our movements would have thought
the launch of a new steamer was about to
take place, instead of a parting between friends
and relatives. Had it been avower show, or
gala day celebration on hand, the folks could
not have been more prettily dressed and light
hearted. At 10:25 the gong sounded for non
intending passengers to go ashore and then
came the parting. Here could be seen a hus
band parting from his wife and the swearing
of eternal affections and the usual amount of
tears between sweethearts, and so on ; but a
more smiling and happier crowd never assem
bled to bid adieu to a departing steamer. We
were only eleven of us saloon passenger and,
as usual, we made one another's acquaintance
as soon as we let go the wharf, for the sooner
fellow-passengers know one another the hap
pier it is for all hands. Everything went 'plane
did the first day and all was serene, but the
day after, the folks commenced one by one to
leave the table and seek their cabins. Sea
sicknesas bad set in. Among our passengers
was one lady who was sick the whole voyage
and only appeared once at the table and that
was going up the river Mersey. This lady bad
crossed the Atlantic no less than four times
each way, and has always experienced the
same amount of sea sickness. Each time she
goes she swears it shall he the last time. When
she reached Liverpool the malady had left her
so weak that she could scarcely stand. We
had very rough weather the first six days, yet '
not so bad as is usually known at this season
of the year in the Atlantic. We bad on board
as a passenger a Delaware pilot, a regular old
sea dog, one of those open hearted, whole soul
ed fellows that are greatly appreciated on ship
board. He had been several years at sea and
was also constantly out on cruising ground in
his pilot boat, and the motion of the latter is
infinitely more disagreeable than that of a big
steamer. He felt no sensation of seasickness
the first four days, and was rather enjoying
the discomfiture of the others as they one by
one left the tables to lay down to this most
horrible of all maladies. On the fifth day as
we were going down to early breakfast, he was
joking me about being the only one that had
stuck to him at the table, and begged me not
to fall sick and leave him alone. Down we
went and called for beef steak and onions. The
first mouthful settled him. He had to leave
and get on deck. "Here, here, leave me go out
is all I want ;" and away be bolted. Of course
it caused no end of flea and we all had a hearty
laugh at him. It did look so very comical to
see a hard old shellback give in. Sea sick
ness is terrible to those who suffer from it. I
have never known its horrors. In some of my
trips on big passenger steamers, I have often
beard a request from a sufferer to have mercy
on him or her and help them to get overboard,
and so end their misery. There is no remedy
for it ; you may hear one old "know all" sug
gest this specific, and another that, and all in
sist that their own peculiar remedies are in
fallible ; yet you never see them effect a cure,
or even a case relieved. The only and best
cure is plenty of fresh air and exercise.
On the 14th of March, and when within three
days sailing of Queenstown, we fell across a
large sailing vessel flying signals of distress.
She proved to be the English fall-rigged ship
N & E Garduck, of 1490 burthen,
with a car
go of 5140 bales cotton and bound from Gal
veston, Texas, to Liverpool. She bad been 57
days at sea already, and for her last 14 days,
alt hands had been kept busy at the pumps.
She bad been leaking badly for about 3 weeks
and as the leak grew older the water in her
hold increased, as the primps in her were not
able to keep the water under. When we fell
across her she had 6 feet of water in her hold
and the crew had refused to work any more.
There was only one alternative for her Cap
tain, and that was to abandon her. With the
assistance of our boats and her own we soon
brought off her entire crew, numbering 21 men
and a dog. The poor fellows were very happy
when they got on board of us. Tired out,and
weary from incessant pumping,they were glad
indeed to have a spell of rest. As soon as the
last boat had left her we saw flames and smoke
coming up from her hatchways ; her Captain
hail saturated a portion of her cargo with coal
oil and then fired her. Our Captain remons
trated with him for such wantoness and the
reply that he made was, "he had been working
in her too many years to have any one come
along and tow her into port." It was a sin to
burn a noble ship like her, especially as there
was every chance to take her into Queenitowu;
the weather was so fine and the sea almost
smooth, but no opportunity was offered us, as
she was already enveloped in flames by the
time we got her crew and their baggage on
board of us. The ship and cargo was valued
at $240,000 and fully insured. The last we
saw of her the fire had got hold of everything.
She presented a sad yet beautiful spectacle as
the flames danced and licked up everything
about her. First the ropes caught, then the
sails, and lastly her spars and away she went
burning and drifting. Nothing but her bull,
burnt to the water's edge, will ever be found
of her, and even this sad remnant of a once
noble ship may never be fallen across, but drift
and drift. At Queenstown, Ireland, a steam
tug came along side and took off the passen
gers destined for there. A box of Shamrock
was brought on board by one of the tug's men
land as I was admiring it, one of our passen
gers took a small piece and holding it alarm's
length, first smiled, and then broke forth in
his rich, native brogue, "an be jabers it is
many years since I last saw the rale ould sham
rock," then the tears came to the poor old ex
lie's eyes : his heart wasftill.
The next day we got to Liverpool, and of
all the dirty murky, smoky, dingy holes in this
world, Liverpool ranks as the dingiest. Our
Pittsburg is not half as dirty—yet Liverpool's
population, both the male and female, appear
with rosy cheeks and look hearty and fat.
Here I will leave you for the present, but
will tell you more of England bye and bye.

That your correspondent failed of his usual
letter last week was owing to. circumstances
entirely beyond his control, but your readers
lost nothing of lutes:eat for no one short of
the poets impersonation of
"The inventive God who never fails We part"
could have manufactured anything worthy of
note out the uninteresting proceedings of the
House in the absence of the Senate. The
only question upon which the House became
at all excited was raised by its action upon
the bill known here as the "anti-discrimina
tion" bill. This is a measure which is in
tended to remedy, to some extent, at least,
the unfair proceedings of railroad companies
in discriminating to the disadvantage of cer
tain sections of the State, in carrying of freight.
This bill has passed the Senate, and gone to
the House committee on railroads, where it
seems likely to remain a longer time then its
friends thought was necessary. So an attempt
was made to have the committee discharged
from its further consideration which is but
another way for forcing the committees to
report a bill favorably. A shrewd point,
which honest members could not afford to vote
against, was raised against this motion by one
of the enemies of the bill, and the movement
to discharge the committee) failed. A certain
correspondent of a daily paper interpreted
this action as indicative of the final action
they intended to take upon the bill, making
it the subject of severe criticism which so en
raged certain members that they immediately
organized a crusade against the reporters in
general, and this ore in particular. The very
foolish expedient of attempting to expel the
offending reporter from the floor of the House
was about to be resorted to, when better
council prevailing, the matter was dropped.
The good result of this little breeze was that
the railroad committee was forced to report
the bill, which they did with a negative recom
mendation, but an opportunity was thus given
to its friends to take care of it, which they
promptly did, by referrieg it to another com

mittee, from which it was shortly after re
ported with an affirmative recommendation.
Of this bill more anon.
In the House on Monday night a resolution
was offered by Mr. Westbrook, and laid over
under the rules, appropriating $5OO out of the
House contingent fund to defray the expenses
of the committee appointed in February last
to determine whether or not the Lamont
mining and railroad company had been legally
incorporated. This might be considered an
unsafe method of appropriating—by simple
resolution of one branch of the legislature—
but the speaker, on a point raised, dicided
that the money, being in the hands of the
chief clerk, was already appropriated by law,
and the House bad a perfect right to dispose
of it as they saw fit.
At this session was also discussed a bill en-.
larging the functions of justices of the peace,
providing that they shall have concurrent
jurisdiction with the court of common pleas
of all actions arising from contracts, either
expressed or implied, and of all actions of
trespass, and of trover and conversion, wherein
the sum in controversy does not exceed $3OO.
The bill further provides for the empanelling
of a jury of six persons to try such cases.
The pipe line bill, one similar to that de
feated in the Senate early in the session has
at last been reached in the House. It was the
suhject of a heated discussion on Thursday,
and will come up again next Wednesday. A
number of appropriation bills have been passed
this week by the House, as a rule lately adopted
requires the last hour of every afternoon ses
sion to be spent in the consideration of pen
sion revenues and appropriation bills.
At a caucus of Republican members of the
House held on Tuesday night it was deter
mined that there should be no final adjourn
ment of the Legislature before the 24th day
of May. A course of procedure was marked
out, and it was determined to hold afternoon
sessions of the House on every day of the
week except Saturdays, on which day no ses
sions at all are held.
Sergeant-at-Arms Gains has found the ab
sconded and expelled member Bullard in Wy
oming county,and has returned him to the cus
tody of the sheriff of Delaware county.
The Senate re-assemble(' on Tuesday after
their ten days vacation. There was but a
slim attendance of Senators at the first days
session, and little or no business was trans
acted.
On Thursday two important bills were
passed. The Philadelphia Recorders bill after
a sharp debate was passed finally by a strict
partizan vote of 28 in favor to 14 against.—
The Senate has added some amendments to
the bill so it will be necessary for it to go
again into the House. The Senate also passed
on the same day the bill dividing the county
of Luzerne by a vote of 38 in favor to 4 against.
Tweed Dead.
HIS LAST HOURS OF PRISON LIFE-SCENES
AT THE DEATH-BED OF THE GREAT PO
LITICAL CHIEFTAIN-"I HAVE TRIED
TO DO SOME GOOD, AND I BELIEVE THE
GUARDIAN ANGELS WILL PROTECT ME."
NEw YORK, April 12
William M Tweed died in Ludlow Street
Jail today. His last night was nearly rest
less. He slept an hour before midnight and
then, after a long period of wakefulness, be
slept another hour near morning. Watchers
were with him all the time. Early this morn
ing a note written by another and signed by
Tweed was sent to Dr. Carnochan. The
doctor arrived at the jail at 8.30. Charles
Devlin, Tweed's friend and bondsman, was
already there. The doctor saw at a glance
that Tweed was dying. His bronchitis and
pneumonia had ceased to trouble hits, but his
face was red and suffused with blood, and
though its pulsation was irregular his heart
beat so violently that the folds of his night
shirt over his breast were moved visibly.
Tweed knew that he was dying. His mind
was clear and he talked intelligently, though
he said but little. At 9.15 he said to Mary
Fittimmons, a daughter of the matron of the
jail: "I have tried to be good by all ; it I
haven't been it isn't my fault. I believe that
God will receive me." Then he called Dr.
Carnochan,
and when the doctor bent over
him Tweed said : "I have tried to do some
good ; if I have not had good luck lam not
afraid to die. I believe the guardian angels
will protect me." About half-past eleven
o'clock one of Tweed's counsel, William
Edelstein, came in and Tweed addressed him
by his first name : "William, Tilden and Fair
child have killed me ; I hope they are satisfied
now." These,
according to Dr. Carnochan,
were Tweed's last words. At that time there
were at his bed side Luke Grant, a colored
servant attached to the jail, who had watched
him without sleep for four days; Dr. Carno
chan, Mr. Edelstein, S. Foster Dewey, for a
long time Tweed's private secretary ; Mr.
Douglas, Tweed's son-in-law ; Miss Fitzim
mons and her mother, the matron. Not one
of his own family was there. All but one
daughter are in Europe, and at the moment
of his death the daughter was in another part
of the jail, whither she had gone for some
nourishing food for her father. At 11.45
Tweed became unconscious and thenceforward
to the last he breathed more easily. Efforts
to arouse him were without effect. As the
bell on the Essex Market struck the first
stroke of the hour of twelve it was clear that
the old man's life was almost gone and it
ebbed perceptibly, receding as the bell tolled
off the seconds. He breathed deeply three
times, raised his right baud, which had been
lying beside him on the bed-cictbes, and
placed it on his breast, and at the tenth stroke
of the bell the doctor, who had been bending
over the bed, raised his bead. Tweed was
dead.
Death was caused by pericarditis, The sac
which enclosed the heart was suffused with
serum, the watery portion of the blood. This
caused inflamation of the sac, which produced
deatb. By request of friends no outonsy was
bad, The body was removed to-night to the
house of his son in-law, Mr, Douglas. Mr.
Townsend, Tweed's lawyer, says that be re
ceived no instructions to draw a will, and he
believes Tweed left no money.

MRS. TILTON MAKES A CONFESSION DE•

IS "INNOCENT OF THE GREAT TRANS
G RESSIO N."
NEW Yoay, April 15.
The following from Mrs. Tilton will appear
in the morning papers to—morrow : .
~
MR. lAA B. CIEiLIIR—My Dear Sir: A few
weeks since, after long months of mental
anguish, I told, as you know, a few friends,
whom I had bitterly deceived, that the charge
brought by my husband of adultery between
myself and the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was
true, and that the lie I have lived so well the
last four years has become intolerable to me.
That statement I now solemnly reaffirm, and
leave the truth with God, to whom commit
myself, my children and all who must suffer.
I know full well the explanations that will be
sought by many for this acknowledgment—a
desire to return to my husband, insanity, mal•
ice, everything save the true and only one, my
quickened conscience and the sense of what is
due to the cause of truth and justice. During
all the corpplications of these years you have
been my confidential friend, and therefore I
address this letter to you, authorizing and
requesting you to secure its publication.

A DENIAL BY ILL BZECHER,
Mr. Beecher was out of the city to-night
when Mrs. Tilton's letter was made public and
his whereabonts wee not known save to a few
friends. The New York Tribune telegraphed
him a copy of the letter at a late hour to-night
and received the following letter in reply from
Mr. Beecher :
Wt VERLY, N. Y., April 15, 1878.
To the Editor the New York Tribune :
I confront Ars. Tilton's confession with an
explicit and absolute denial. The testimony
to her own innocence and to seine which for
four years she bad made to hundreds in private
and public, before the Court, in writing and
orally, I declare to be true. And the allega
tions now made, I utterly deny. I declare her
to be innocent of the great transgression,

The Crisis.
What think you would be the result if the
earth should stop spinning around the sun '(
Were you ever near a large and intricate ma
chine when one of its wheels became clogged
or broken—near enough to hear the grating,
jarring clash, the sudden, deafening crash ?
Astronomers assure us that precisely similar
effects, only on an inconceivable grander scale,
would be produced if our earth—one of the
wheels in the universe-mhchine—should sud
denly cease its revolutions. In other words,
there would be a general clash and crash of
satellites, planets, and systems, What we
term financial crises are due to similar causes,
Une of the wheels in the finance-inexhine be
comes clogged, perhaps shattered. The terri
ble Wall-street "crash" which follows is com
municated to every part of the financial
mechanism of the country. But analogies do
not stop here. There is that other mechanism,
the most intricate of all—sometimes called an
organism because it generates its own forces
—the human machine. When one of its mem
bers fails to perform its office, the whole sys
tem is thrown into disorder. Members before
considered unassailable, break down under
the unnatural pressure. The shock comes,
and utter prostration is the result. Repara
tion can only be effected by the restoration of
the impaired parts and the re adjustment of
its levers,—the physical forces. There is one
part of the machine more liable to disorder
than:any other,—the liver,—the great balance
wheel of the machine.
The liver being the great depurating or
blood-cleansing organ of the system, set it at
work and the foul corruptions which gender
in the blood, and rot out, as it were, the ma
chiuery of life, are gradually expelled from
the system. For this purpose Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, used daily, and Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, taken in
very small doses,are pre-eminently the articles
needed. They cure every kind of humor from
the worst scrofula to the common pimple,
blotch or eruption. Great eating ulcers kind
ly heal under their mighty curative influence.
Virulent blood poisons that lurk in the sys
tem are by them robbed of their terrors, and
by their persevering and somewhat protracted
use the most tainted systems may be complete
ly renovated and built up anew. Enlarged
glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away
and disappear under the influence of these
great resolvents.
Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia !
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are almost
infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and
despondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey, in turn, of every known
malady. This is due, in part, to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and in part also to the fact that
any disturbances of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels
and the nervous system, and affects, to some
extent, the quality of the blood.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron a sure
cure. This is not a new preparation, to be
tried and found wanting, it has been prescribed
daily for many years in the practice of eminent
physicians w!th unparalelled success. It is
not expected or intended to cure all the dis
eases to which the human family is subject,
but is warranted to cure Dyspepsia in its
most obstinate form. Kunkel's Bitter Wine
of Iron never fails to cure. Symptoms of
Dyspepsia are loss of upetite, wind and rising
of the food, dryness of the m3uth, hearttLurn,
distension of the stomach and bowels, consti
pation, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness and
low spirits. Try the great remedy and be
convinced of its merits. Get the genuine.
Take only Kunkel's which is put only in one
dollar bottles. Depot, 259 North Ninth Street,

by all druggists and dealers everywhere.
Ask for E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron
and take no other. Six bottles for five dollars,

WORMS ! WORMS 1 WORMS !
E. F. Kunkel's Worm Syrup never fails to
destroy Pin, Seat and Stomach Worms. Dr.
Kunkel is the only successful physician who
removes Tape Worm in two hours alive with

sense teaches if Tape Worm be removed, all
other worms can be readily destroyed. Send

Tortures that Need not be Endured.
People suffer a great deal of pain unneces
sarily. Among tortures that need not be
endured are those inflicted by the rheumatism
and goat, since the acrid element in the blood
which produces them by contact with the
sensitive covering of the muscles and joints
may be eliminated by the use of that match
less depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
before the inflammatory symptoms are devel
oped to any great extent. When it is consid
ered what excruciating tortures rheumatism
inflicts, and what a tendency it has, when
fully developed, to attack the heart, the
advisability of an early use of,such a reliable
antidote becomes at once apparent. The
rheumatic virus is expelled from the blood by
the increased action of the kidneys—which
act as strainers—produced by the Bitters, and
the sufferer will find, if be uses this supreme
defensive agent, that be will be protected
against a return of the agonizing complaint.
Dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver and bowel
complaints and other maladies, are also cured
by this admirable remedy. [aprill2-3t

KANSAS LANDS !!
We own and control the Railway lands of TREGO CO.,
KANSAS, about equally divided by the Kansas Pacific R.
R., which we are selling at an average of 33.25 per acre
on easy terms of payment. Alternate sections of Govern
ment Isads can be taken as homesteads by actual settlers.
These lands lie in the Great Limestone Belt of Central
Kansas, the beet winter wheat producing district of the
United States, yielding foal 20 to 35 Bushels per acre.
The average yearly rainfall in this county is nearly 33
inches per annum, one-third greater than in the much-ex
tolled Arkansas Valley, which has a yearly rainfall of less
than 23 inches per annum in the same longitude.
Stock-Raising and Wool-Growing are very remunerative.
The winters are short and mild. Stock will live all the
year on grass Living Streams and Springs are numerous.
Pure water is found in wells from 20 to 80 feet deep. The
Healthiest Climate in the World! No fever and ague there.
No muddy or impassable roads. Plenty of fine building
stone, lime and sand. These lands are being rapidly set
tled by the beet class of Northern and Easternpeople, and
will so appreciate in value by the improvements now be
ing made as to make their purchase at present prices one
of the very best investments that can be made, aside from
the profits to be derived from their cultivation. Members
of our firm reside in WA-KEENEY, and will show lands
